ISO 3166/MA members

The composition of the ISO 3166/MA reflects the two stakeholder groups which were primarily involved in the development of ISO 3166 in the early 1970s: national standards organizations, members of ISO, and United Nations agencies.

Of the ten experts with voting rights on the ISO 3166/MA five are representatives of the following national standards organizations:

• Association française de normalisation AFNOR (France)
• American National Standards Institute ANSI (United States)
• British Standards Institution BSI (United Kingdom)
• Deutsches Institut für Normung DIN (Germany)
• Swedish Standards Institute SIS (Sweden)

The other five are representatives of major UN or other international organizations who are all users of ISO 3166-1:

• International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA)
• International Telecommunication Union (ITU)
• Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN)
• Universal Postal Union (UPU)
• United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE)

The ISO 3166/MA has further associated members who do not participate in the votes but who - through their expertise - have significant influence on the decision taking procedure in the maintenance agency.

The members can be contacted through the secretariat of the ISO 3166/MA.
